Delta's newest Panasonic AVOD system (found on the A332s and the refurbished 73Hs one would fly from BOS to HKG via SEA) features 220-280 movie selections, significantly more than CX or many other international carriers out there:

- Swiss has about 140-150 movie selections on their newest planes
- Qantas has about 100+ movies on their A380s http://www.qantas.com/travel/airline...ment/global/en
- BA has about 140 movie selections on the A380 from LHR-LAX for example: http://www.britishairways.com/en-gb/...name=catalogue
- Even Etihad only has 120+ movies to choose from: http://www.etihad.com/en-us/experien...entertainment/
- And Virgin Atlantic has under 100+.

The only ones who beat Delta are Emirates, Qatar, and maybe Singapore.
Fair enough, but it's hardly the entire DL fleet and again, only currently available on a small subset of the fleet.
